The present disclosure is directed to controlling outcomes in a game that includes multiple different users playing respective roles of specific virtual characters. The multiple different users may be present at a same physical location, or the different users may be located at different physical locations when movement of their eyes is tracked. Here, a user may choose one of a set of provided selections by simply looking at the chosen selection for a period of time or by looking at the chosen selection and performing an action or gesture. This functionality allows multiple different users to control actions performed by different specific characters via an online multiplayer system. Depending on what a first user looks at, that first user or a second user may be provided with a corresponding set of selections or audio/visual content via respective gaming devices operated by the first and the second user.

A method, system and device for controller operation, comprises detecting a change in a state of the controller from a charging state to an operation state. A state of the computing device changes from a controller charging state to a controller operation state in response to detecting the change in the state of the controller. The computing device receives an input from the controller sends a visual indication of the input to a display device. Additionally, a method, system and device for enhanced controller charging, may comprise detecting a change in a controller state from an operation state to a charging state. A computing device determines whether an ignore input is present after detecting the change in controller state and automatically signs out of a user account or automatically goes into a standby mode when the ignore input is not present.

A tooth brushing game includes starting counting a time that defines one play of a toothbrush game in response to starting the toothbrush game; capturing an image of a user; setting an area around a mouth by detecting a face area of the user from the captured image and detecting a facial part from the detected face area; detecting movement of an object including a toothbrush and a hand in the area around the mouth; controlling the toothbrush game based on the detected movement of the object; and stopping the counting of the time when the area around the mouth is not set but not stopping the counting when the movement of the object is not detected.

A voice user interface processing method executed by an information processing device, the voice user interface processing method includes determining whether a first portion of words set in advance is uttered by a player, executing a first process that corresponds to the words before the words are uttered to an end of the words in a case that it is determined that the first portion of the words is uttered, determining whether the words are uttered by the player to the end of the words in parallel to an execution of the first process, and executing a second process based on a result of determining whether the words are uttered to the end of the words.

A context based augmented reality system can be used to display augmented reality elements over a live video feed on a client device. The augmented reality elements can be selected based on a number of context inputs generated by the client device. The context inputs can include location data of the client device and location data of nearby physical places that have preconfigured augmented elements. The preconfigured augmented elements can be preconfigured to exhibit a design scheme of the corresponding physical place.

An information processing device obtains information regarding the position of each fingertip of a user in a real space, and determines contact between a virtual object set within a virtual space and a finger of the user. The information processing device sets the virtual object in a partly deformed state such that a part of the virtual object, the part corresponding to the position of the finger determined to be in contact with the object among the fingers of the user, is located more to a far side from a user side than the finger, and displays the virtual object having the shape set thereto as an image in the virtual space on a display device.

A system and method for a cloud-based gaming platform with integrated health-related data collection capabilities. In an embodiment, the system and method comprise a cloud-based gaming platform comprising a frontend accessible from various game clients which operates a gaming environment on one or more game servers, a backend that provides the game database and analytics used by the game servers to operate the gaming environment, and a HIPPA-compliant security gateway configured to route health-related data from gaming to a healthcare diagnostics and treatment module integrated into the platform. Exercising on an exercise machine compatible with the cloud-based gaming platform entertains the user while simultaneously capturing data about the user's physical and mental performance which can later be used to diagnose medical conditions and, depending on configuration, implement treatment regimens comprising exercise routines and mental simulation via tasks in the gaming environment.
